TofuCute edamame popping bean series 2 review

 

First of all I would like to mention that this review is not sponsored and

 this only my opinions on this product

 

So to begin I received all 6 edamame from series 2 for free as I was one of the winners to a competition they ran on their Facebook page to design the faces for series 2.

This is the bean I designed named Happy-chan

 

The package arrived in a neat brown parcel with a very cute TofuCute sticker attached of the address of the store. Inside the package all of the edges where protected with a layer of bubble wrap to prevent damages.

each bean was packaged individually which is good if you want to give one to a friend or family member. One complaint about the design of the packaging is that putting the bean back in the casing with both chains in the correct place can be quite difficult. You don't know which bean you have received until you open the packaging which gives you a nice surprise.

The front and the back of the packaging is very neat and cute. The back shows you all of the faces from series 2 that you can collect. In my opinion all of the faces are very cute and I wouldn't be disappointed if I received any of them. Each bean has a different name, in series 2 these are: Happy, Nyan-nyan, chibi-chan, tsundere, seal-chan and vampire.

As for the beans themselves the quality of the printing on the faces is very high. I can not see them rubbing of anytime in the future. I would also like to say that the bean pod in this season seems to be a little softer which allows the beans to be popped much more easily compared to series 1. Each bean comes with two straps. 1 chain to attach as a key chain of to accessorize bags ect.. and the other is a phone strap. Personally I find it to big for a phone charm. I have mine attached to the zips of my school bag and I use both straps for this so its is very unlikely they will be able to fall off.

 

Overall I am very happy with the quality of the beans. The packaging is very cute with only minor issues and the tofu cute website is very easy to navigate

 

I hope you find this review helpful

its really simple and easy

you won't need any professional tools just:

- blue nail varnish

powder glitter should be available at local art and craft stores

the overall effect is very textured and super glittery

Ebay-ing

 

Hi !

I was searching around on eBay and I thought I would share some information on finding cute clothes

 

I find one of the best things to search is Korean fashion. I tend not to search for Japanese fashion because traditional Japanese dress (kimono, yukata) generally appear.

Korean fashion is very cute and similar to Japanese.

Searching for specific brands that you know sometimes work

For Liz Lisa and angelic pretty some results appear however they are very expensive even for eBay

Searching Harajuku fashion is good if you are looking for wigs for Fashion or Cosplay

If these don't work try searching more specific using things that are often featured in Japanese fashion items such as peter pan collars (blouses, shirts, dresses) this can bring up some very cute items that are more day wear than Lolita but still hold the Japanese influence.

hope you find this useful

thank you for 1000 page views

How to: simple kawaii

kawaii clothes and items are sadly not always completely accepted by western society. So if you aren't confident enough to wear kawaii clothes there are some simple ways you can make normal items have a cute side:

A dress i found in New Look is very pretty but it doesnt quite fit with the japanese style i was going for.

For this dress i felt it only needed two extra features a cute bag and bow. Bows are very popular in japanese fashion and can make any outfit look adorable. Going to John Lewis i picked up 1 metre of this blue ribbon that matched with the colour in the dress. I found this satchel on Ebay for £6.99 and i thought it was very similar to the school bags used in japan and in animes.

simple accessories can really change the look of your outfit. you can add bows to your hair or stitch them into your clothes. Luckily frilly socks are popular in western fashion at the moment and they also fit well with a cute dolly look. Adding frilly socks to a normal outfit just adds that little extra sweetness and it wont get you strange looks anymore.

kawaii room deco tips ♥

hi everyone! I've been working on making my room cute for the past year now and I'm ready to share with you some tips for making your room "kawaii" the style I'm going for is very hime princess style and some parts of my room I've DIY'd to make even cuter!♥
 
first tip! glue on bows, pearls, lace onto stuff to make it cuter
 
 
 
 this mirror is from Matalan
 
as you can see on the right i glued a string of pearls around the edge to make it more princess-y
 
 
 
 
 
 

 this was quite a boring white lamp from Ikea before i added a frilly lace trim and some cute little bows to it

i tied some ribbon in a bow around my bed posts to make them cuter










my next tip is to diplay all of your bows and hair accessories in a little glass dish and diplay your jewellery on a jewellery hanger.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 





My next tip is to hide all your schoolwork in a cute box to keep it neat. this one is from Matalan and doubles up as a seat!

 

 

 

Finally im going to show you some other cute stuff from my room!

 

this cushion was £2 from a charity shop

 

 

i got this sweet little birdhouse from a handmade store and i hang it on my curtain pole  

  thank you for reading!♥

buying kawaii fashion from ebay and haul ♥

hello everyone! today's post is going to be a guide on buying kawaii fashion on eBay. as much as i enjoy going out shopping theres something so nice about buying from the comfort of my own home
^-^
eBay has a huge range of clothes and when i discovered i could buy adorable pieces for reasonable prices i became hooked. I'm going to be sharing some my tips with you today along with 6 items to show you which I've accumulated over the past few months so lets start ♥

my first tip is to have an open mind, searching "kawaii dress" for example wont get you a lot of results. i search things such as "cute" "Korean" "peter pan collar" "sweet" which will get you a lot more results. in fact searching "Korean fashion" will get you a ton of really nice results.

secondly is don't be afraid to buy second hand! often the items are in great quality and eBay will protect you if goods are faulty or undelivered. some of the clothes I've bought are second hand and are great ^^

next is to search high street brands which you like such as new look, topshop, primark. primark is a really good one because theres so much of it on eBay and you're bound to find something you like.

be sure before buying that the item will fit you, larger stores will often tell you measurements but if you're unsure ask the seller for exact measurements as some people will not accept returns and you will often have to pay the delivery for it, I've never had this problem but just a warning!

also a lot of Korean/ Japanese clothes have elasticated waistbands and one size fits a wide range of sizes so i don't worry too much when buying dresses

i hope this has been somewhat helpful and I'm going to end by showing you all the items I've got from eBay and hopefully I'll find more to share with you!

                                                         primark sailor cardigan £10

                                                           primark shift dress £9

                                                       
                                unbranded peter pan collar dress £14

                                                          primark skirt with braces £6

unbranded polka dot dress £2.99 (!!!!)

sailor style backpack £8 ish
